Greenhouse Tea Cosy

During lockdown the sale of greenhouses has rocketed as we all spent more time at home. We have turned to growing our own and that has inspired me to design a Greenhouse tea cosy.

This is a white, traditional-looking greenhouse, and I shall knit the windows in silver to represent the glass.

There’s a giant tomato sprouting from the roof of the greenhouse. The gardener obviously uses Miracle Grow! What a beauty, it certainly is a gardener’s delight.

By the side of the greenhouse I thought I’d have a few gardening tools and a few pretty weeds.

The only issues that I see with this greenhouse is the shape. As we all know a teapot is round and a greenhouse is a cube with a triangular roof on top. But I think I have a plan to get the right shape.

Knitting the same thing multiple times is a bit boring. All those windows! It would be good if I could make this process less tedious whilst avoiding intarsia, I know there are people out there who dread intarsia, so I shall try to keep away from that.

Course you can only see one view of the greenhouse and I would like the other view to be as interesting. So, I shall add more gardening paraphernalia around the other side.

This is going to be so much fun!
